Life Sciences Global Hubsite for Industry Innovators

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- BioSpace.com, the global hubsite
for the life sciences industry, has begun offering a host of services aimed at
supporting the efforts of life sciences entrepreneurs. The BioSpace.com
Start-Up Channel has been developed with the goal of accelerating innovation
in the industry by focusing on the unique needs of those involved with
creating start-up companies. This newest addition to the site expands on
BioSpace.com's existing content and commerce services, which the company
provides for its community -- the Internet's largest audience of life sciences
professional, governmental and academic individuals and organizations.
"The significance of entrepreneurship and the crucial role it plays in
scientific progress has been well established in today's landscape," said
Scott Clarke, CEO of BioSpace.com. "Our goal is to provide easy accessibility
to resources critical for advancement in the life sciences. The Start-Up
Channel is an extension of that dedication to the vital realm of
entrepreneurial science."
In creating the Start-Up Channel, BioSpace.com has applied its established
expertise as a leading life sciences website and service provider to develop
what is essentially a microcosm of its global hubsite. BioSpace.com currently
offers a range of services targeting what the company has defined as the basic
needs of the life sciences industry: information, products & services,
people, and capital. With the Start-Up Channel, the company has catered
solutions to these needs for an audience of start-up companies and their
constituents. Ongoing enhancements and the addition of educational resources
to the channel, combined with BioSpace.com's existing suite of services for
the life sciences community, will create an all-encompassing resource that
helps entrepreneurs bring their innovations to market.
"Our global hubsite now provides venture-backed companies or those seeking
venture funding with the tools necessary to effectively progress in a
competitive market," said Aylene Lambert, Product Director for BioSpace.com.
